Hey guys need some advise here.

So we had some rain last week and i noticed some water got in the cab leaving a lil lake in the cab so today i got tearing everything and giving it a good clean and saw my insulation and carpet fu.... up and ive already seen the vinyl floor mats out there and im wondering if its a good choice im still going to rhino or line-x in there before the floor mat.

Thanks in advance

I have the vinyl in mine, if i had to do it over again i would go carpet, the "Molded Vinyl" is basically just flat vinyl sheet with some folds in it. I was highly disappointed. Doesnt mold to the floor at all, You do have to trim about 6 inches off each side and there is no holes precut. My truck was originally a suburban, so the floor has some complexity to it. May be different on a K5 floor or truck floor without so many curves and bends.

Most manufacturers sell a reboxed version of "ACC Carpets" I bought mine for half of what LMC and JC Whitney wanted through some internet searching. Funny thing is it was Drop shipped from ACC in an ACC box. I gave about 160 shipped for it.

I wouldnt bother with rhino or line x if you are going to cover it, put some por15 down and call it good. The rhino and linex are going to do very little to act as insulation or sound dampening unless you spray it 1/4 inch or more thick.

I put a dynamat variant down first to control the "Tin can" noise and then went and bought some "Anti Fatigue matting" from lowes, This is a closed cell foam so it doesnt absorb water. its about 3/8 inch think. spray adhesived it to the dynamat variant and covered with the vinyl. My floor doesnt get hot or cold anymore. sound was reduced quite a bit as well.

I'd say do Rhino Liner and have them do it thick. Mine's about 1/8" and while it cuts down on noise it's definitely not carpet. I can hose it out however. If I had more time when I had it done (fall '09) I'd have gotten a kit from Blazer and sprayed in some sound deadener and then coated that with one of his DIY spray on bedliner kits.

The vinyl floor mat over Rhino Liner seems kinda redundant. I could see carpet over it just to make it prettier but the vinyl floor mat wouldn't add anything that the Rhino Liner/bedliner wasn't already doing.
